 >Description:
 Since I've already done a send-pr for NetBSD that explains the problem,
 I'll just post a link:
 
 http://www.NetBSD.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=16483
 
 Remarkably, the commit log for snprintf.c indicates this problem (or an extremely close approximation; I was leaking in __smakebuf as well) was reported against 4.2, fixed, the PR (#26044) closed, and then unfixed.
 
 >How-To-Repeat:
       
 >Fix:
 I worked around the problem using a 1-character buffer.
